Setting daylight savings rules and locations
Setting daylight savings rules
and locations
Even though you set the date, time, and timezone through the Web interface on the S8700
Media Server, you must also set the daylight savings rules and locations and verify the date and
time through Avaya Site Administration.
Set Daylight Savings Rules
You can set up to 15 customized daylight savings time rules. If you have media gateways in
several different time zones, you can set up rules for each on a location basis. A daylight
savings time rule specifies the exact time when you want to transition to and from daylight
savings time. It also specifies the increment at which to transition.
NOTE:
The default daylight savings rule is 0, meaning no daylight savings transition.

Type the appropriate Start and Stop information in the Change Day, Month, Date,
Time, and Increment fields for each rule. For example, 1:00 in the Increment
field means to move the clock forward or back by one hour at the transition point.
NOTE:
You can change any rule except rule 0 (zero). You cannot delete a daylight savings rule if
it is in use on either the Locations or Date and Time screens.

When done, press Enter to effect the changes.
